All the people of the hospital family—medical and dental staff, employees
and volunteers—are in the most important work in the world. Helping people back
to health. Making people comfortable. Taking care of people's needs. Restoring
the energy with which people make their living. Can you think of a business more
important?
Thank you for caring for our patients so well. Thank you for contributing your
ideas and energies to making Moses Cone Hospital a better place to work. Thank
you for your loyal and capable service. — MOSES CONE HOSPITAL
Nursing Personnel
Study Staffing
On Two Divisions
It will be a long time before the
personnel of 2000 and 4500 forget
the days from March 30 to April 14.
They found out more about themselves, their work and the patients
than they ever knew existed.
And it's all down in writing now
and being processed for punching
into a computer.
The idea back of this time-consuming self-study was collection of
data for staff utilization improvement.
This was the second phase of the
CHIP program to be carried out in
Nursing.
In simplier terms, the Nursing
staff was involved in trying to find
out exactly what is being done for
every patient every hour of the day,
who does it and how long it takes.
It not only covered nursing care,
but included clerical work, errands
and phone calls.
Preparation for the work took two
weeks with the planning headed by
Mrs. Adele Hough, Assistant Director of Nursing. Working closely with
her were Head Nurses Mrs. Emma
Walker, 4500, and Mrs. Pat Allen,
2000, and the nursing supervisors of
all three shifts. Each of these also
carried a heavy load during the
actual data collection process. Additionally, every nursing person on
the two divisions played a part.
On each shift, all patients were
divided into Class I, II or III, according to the degree of illness, with the
critical patients being in Class III.
The charted records listed how
many people it took to give the
needed care, based on how many of
each class of patient were on that
division that shift.
When this data is analyzed by the
computer, the results will be used
